What is the difference between a bid and a reservation? |
| A. |
The main difference between a bid and a reservation is "commitment". When Purdon’s provides you with a bid it will include a detailed list of items including current pricing that Purdon’s will provide for your event. It will also include a proposed date of delivery and a date of when all items will be returned to Purdon’s. When the terms and conditions of the bid meets your needs and requirements, you will be required to provide a non-refundable 50% deposit to guarantee the order. This deposit can be paid by cash, check, money order or major credit card. When Purdon’s receives the deposit along with a signed copy of the agreement it is then considered a reservation.
While items may be deleted and quantities may be changed, all prices and terms of possession are locked in and are not subject to further negotiation unless agreed to in writing by both parties. Please remember that no items are held unless secured with a deposit.
